- sending html from a server to a client, the html including code for a visible frame, a first invisible frame and a second invisible frame;
rendering the visible frame on a browser of the client;
populating a first field of the visible frame with static data, the static data contained within the first invisible frame; and
populating a second field of the visible frame with dynamic data, the dynamic data retrieved by code within the second invisible frame.

Abstract
A method and system for data display and data capture using applets within hidden frames on a browser. A visible frame and two invisible frames are passed to a client in response to an http request. The visible frame may include multiple layers. The hidden frames contain applets such as Java Server programs (JSP), but do not contain any visible html. Static data that is used for data display and data selection (e.g. pick boxes) is contained within one hidden frame. An applet, such as JSP within the other hidden frame provides an interface between the visible frame and the server to retrieve dynamic data, or verify data entry.

12. A programmed computer for data display on a client computer, comprising:
a memory having at least one region for storing computer executable program code; and
a processor for executing the program code stored in the memory, wherein the program code comprises;code to send html from a server to a client, the html including code for a visible frame, a first invisible frame and a second in visible frame; code to render the visible frame on a browser of the client; code to populate a first field of the visible frame with static data, the static data contained within the first invisible frame; and code to populate a second field of the visible frame with dynamic data, the dynamic data retrieved from the server by code within the second invisible frame.

13. A method for data display on a client computer, the method comprising:
-
responsive to a request from a client, sending html from a server to the client, the html including; html code for a visible frame including multiple layers; javascript for a first invisible frame; and javascript for a second invisible frame; rendering the visible frame from the html code on a browser of the client with at least one layer rendered behind a topmost layer so as to cover the layer in back; populating a first field of the topmost layer of the visible frame with static data, the static data contained within the javascript for the first invisible frame; populating a second field of the topmost layer of the visible frame with dynamic data, the dynamic data not contained within the html, or javascript, the javascript for the second invisible frame retrieving the dynamic data.
